The Oshiwara police's about 20-day hunt for the man who sexually assaulted a six-year-old boy inside a public toilet in Jogeshwari West ended with the arrest of a ragpicker from Jogeshwari.

The minor had gone to a public toilet after attending classes at Gulshan Nagar. On December 2 afternoon, an unknown man forced himself in, locked the toilet from inside and sodomised him. A real estate agent had helped the boy get home after finding him soaked in urine and excreta in the evening.
